These flies worked great in shallow coastal areas. The Marabou Toad and Dread Pirate patterns caught several tarpon during a recent trip. Easy to tie on and durable in saltwater conditions.
Christopher Grant –
I used the Smelling Salt pattern in a river mouth and saw a big jump. The colors stand out in the sun and attract fish well. Only wish the chartreuse version had a slightly larger size option.
William Brown –
Great variety in the assortment. The rust and chartreuse dread pirates were especially effective. I caught two tarpon in one day with this setup. Highly recommend for saltwater anglers.
